Started chewing-up his pacifiers
Learned to walk backwards

Sleep
Kippy is still sleeping 6 am - 6 pm and is taking one nap from 10:30 am until 12:30 pm usually. We'd like the nap to be later in the day but he can barely make it to 10:30 so that's where we're at right now. Still heavily attached to the pacifiers and I'm not sure exactly how to manage that. I'm giving him until 2 until we try to transition off.
Eat
Kip goes through picky bouts. When his canine teeth were coming in he flat out refused foods that he used to love like waffles and toast. He likes to make us take bites of things from his plate before he will try something. He does really well at restaurants and his most favorite food is still applesauce pouches.
Play
Kippy is a really big car phase right now. He is pushing some kind of car about 75% of the day. He also likes the train set on account of the wheels. He adores the park and is extremely bold when it comes to play equipment which is very alarming to me and we really have to be right on him to make sure he doesn't walk off a slide. He enjoys his basketball and his play kitchen and, of course, Toy Story. He loves being around other kids, especially big kids. He thinks they are his friends. He is all play all the time and his imagination is really starting to bloom.
Talk
I feel like we are getting close to a word explosion but at the moment his speech is still quite small. He babbles nonsense all day but his most frequently used words are Momma, Dada, oh wow, car, bi bu (big bus), and go. He has yet to say yes and no and has only said hello a few times. He is pretty good at bye. He hasn't said Mandy or Mimi (much to my sister's disappointment) and he doesn't say his own name yet. Despite his limited vocabulary he communicates really well with pointing and sign language and directing us to whatever it is he wants. I'm excited for the next few months to see how his talking develops.
I cannot believe he is nearly two years old. This past year went even faster than his first and every day he is growing and changing and it's so fun to witness!
